Understanding Gold Purity:
10K, 14K, 18K, and 24K
10K GOLD
Tough and Affordable
10K gold is 41.7% pure gold mixed with 58.3% other metals, making it super tough and scratch-resistant—perfect for daily wear. Its subtle yellow vibe and budget-friendly price make it a top pick for those wanting style and durability without breaking the bank.
18K GOLD
Luxurious and Rich
18K gold is made with 75% pure gold and 25% alloyed metals, giving it a rich, warm yellow color that's both luxurious and eye-catching. While softer than lower karats, it still offers good durability and is perfect for high-end, special occasion jewelry. Ideal for those who want their pieces to shine with premium quality and elegance.
14K GOLD
Balanced and Versatile
14K gold blends 58.3% pure gold with 41.7% alloyed metals, striking the perfect balance between durability and rich color. Its vibrant yellow hue and resilience make it versatile for both everyday wear and special occasions. A solid choice for those wanting elegance and toughness in their jewelry.
24K GOLD
Pure and Luxurious
24K gold is 100% pure gold, known for its unmatched, vibrant yellow hue and luxurious luster. It's the softest and most malleable gold, making it less suitable for everyday wear but perfect for investment pieces and special jewelry. Ideal for those who want the pinnacle of gold purity and brilliance.
White Gold
White gold is an alloy of gold mixed with other white metals, such as nickel, palladium, or silver, to achieve its distinctive color. It is often plated with rhodium to enhance its whiteness and shine. White gold jewelry is a popular choice for its modern and sophisticated appearance, often resembling platinum but at a more affordable price point.
Rose Gold
Rose gold, also known as pink gold or red gold, is created by alloying gold with copper and sometimes a small amount of silver or zinc. This combination gives rose gold its warm, pinkish hue, making it a unique and romantic choice for jewelry. Rose gold has gained popularity in recent years for its vintage-inspired look and its ability to complement various skin tones. It offers a softer, more romantic alternative to traditional yellow or white gold.
SILVER
925 STERLING SILVER
Classic and Affordable
925 silver, also known as sterling silver, is made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals for added strength. Known for its bright, shiny finish, it's durable and versatile, perfect for everyday wear and special pieces. A timeless choice for those seeking quality and elegance without breaking the bank.
FINE SILVER
Radiant and Refined
Pure silver, also known as fine silver, is composed of 99.9% silver, giving it a radiant, lustrous appearance. It’s softer and more prone to scratching compared to sterling silver, making it ideal for special occasion jewelry rather than daily wear. Perfect for those who appreciate the beauty of unalloyed, high-purity silver.

PLATING
Plating, or electroplating, is a technique used to add a thin layer of metal to jewelry pieces. It's like giving your jewelry a little upgrade. By using an electric current, metals like gold, rhodium, silver, or rose gold can be applied to enhance appearance and durability.
You might hear someone say, "This silver chain is gold-plated," indicating that the chain is made of silver but has a thin layer of gold applied to its surface using the plating process
Discover Our Gemstones
Learn about the key characteristics of diamonds: color and clarity. Understand how these factors impact a diamond's beauty, value, and brilliance, helping you make an informed choice for your perfect gem.
Know the differents
Natural diamonds are formed naturally within the Earth's mantle over millions to billions of years. They are mined from diamond-rich deposits and have been treasured for centuries for their rarity, durability, and beauty.
Lab-created diamonds are diamonds grown in controlled lab environments. They have the same chemical composition, physical properties, and brilliance as natural diamonds but are produced ethically and sustainably. They offer a more affordable and environmentally friendly alternative to mined diamonds.
Moissanite is a lab-created gemstone known for its exceptional brilliance and affordability. It offers a fiery sparkle similar to diamonds but at a lower price point. Unlike diamonds, moissanite is grown in controlled laboratory environments, making it an ethical and sustainable choice for jewelry.
Diamonds come in a variety of shades, from completely colorless to shades of yellow and brown. The most valuable diamonds are colorless, graded from D (totally colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown). The less color a diamond has, the rarer and more desirable it is. There are also fancy color diamonds with intense hues like blue, pink, and green, which are prized for their unique and vibrant colors.

Diamond clarity measures how clean a diamond is, assessing the presence of imperfections like inclusions and blemishes. The clearer the diamond, the higher its value. Clarity ranges from Flawless (no flaws) to Included (visible imperfections). A clearer diamond is rarer and more valuable.
